Sanitary Towels For School Girls In Githurai Slums

From our research, we estimate that an average of 24 girls a month drop out of school for various reasons. We also found out that school attendance is lowest from class six onwards amongst girls. We hypothesized that this could be as a result of menstrual cycle. We therefore developed a questionnaire to conduct a baseline survey in three primary schools in the area, Maiga, Mirema and Githurai Primary School.
